BOONE, NC (AP) — Officials say investigators from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are assisting in the search for a college student who disappeared from a North Carolina mountain town in April.

The Boone Police Department said in a news release that the lead investigator on the case spent two days with investigators from the center. The release says the center investigators will assist with the technical aspects of the case involving the disappearance of James Martin Roberts.

Martin was last seen in April near the Appalachian State University campus in Boone. He was a student at Caldwell Community College and was living in Boone.

Authorities say he left a letter in his room indicating that he was leaving everyone behind. He made no specific mention of harming himself.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A Hoggard High School Senior will soon be attending North Carolina State University and with a very prestigious scholarship.

Jasmine Wang landed the Park Scholarship, a full ride through her undergraduate career at NC State.

As for the application process, Wang says, “The Park Scholarship, that was the only experience I’ve had with interviews, so it was really stressful, which is kind of why I didn’t think I would get it since I’ve never done interviews before.”

During highs Wang says she dedicated a lot of her time to various academic teams, tutoring her peers, and competing in piano competitions. She says she’ll miss those activities, but hopes to become just as involved in college.

For now, Wang hopes to leave her classmates with a simple, but always relevant message. Wang says, “Definitely choose stuff that you’re passionate in, that you want to get involved in, and be nice to everyone. You don’t want to make enemies in high school.”

Wang will be attending the NC State as a freshman this fall.

If you know of an outstanding senior in the Cape Fear, let us know!

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WWAY)– Newly released search warrants reveal how an alleged relationship developed between a former Ashley High School teaching assistant and a 17-year-old female student.

In the search warrant a detective with the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office describes an interview with a 17 year year old girl about a sexual encounter with a teaching assistant after night downtown.

In the search warrant the Ashley High school Student says Rebecca Morgan was her senior project adviser. The student says they e-mailed and texted each other.

Then the student says one night she walked into Morgan at the Ibiza night club downtown. The student says they talked until 1 or 2 a.m. The student says she asked Morgan to go home with her. She says Morgan told her it was not a good idea, but the student continued to ask. Then she says they took a cab back to Morgan’s house.

The student says she had sex with Morgan that night.

When asked, the student was able to describe a tattoo on Morgan’s leg and items in Morgan’s bedroom to match items seized during the search. The student describes a tattoo on Morgan’s right thigh that she says is 5 to 6 inches below Morgan’s waist of a female kneeling with records going around the female.

We reached out to Morgan for comment, but she did not answer.

The school district has not confirmed this is the reason Morgan was fired last week.

The sheriff’s office is investigating, but no charges have been filed.
Morgan could face indecent liberties with a student, but a spokesman at the sheriff’s office says at this point they have no physical evidence to prove that.
